Front claws: thermal integration<br />
~24 PJ/y (770 MW), 496 MW @ 519–537˚C, 274 MW<br />
@ 420–461˚C; lost fuel-gas present value = $0.3b<br />
◊ Use waste heat to make useful heat, coolth,<br />
desalinated water, and ?electricity (bottoming cycles)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Eliminate furnaces and electric process heat<br />
Cascade to successively lower temperatures<br />
If we don’t fully desalinate, sell brine to nearby salt works<br />
◊ Minimize fin-fans: ~700 units now use 15 MW, worth<br />
~$21M present value worth of electricity<br />

Micron-misting of inlet air; motors, belts, ASDs, aerodynamic design<br />
Keep them properly clean<br />
◊ Quick fixes for hot-water system—can also boost<br />
